Re: [cobalt-users] Password protection problems

["Simon Pierce" <simon.pierce@xxxxxxxx>]

I've tried a variety of different htaccess files to date. I'm sure it's a
server problem - When asked my ISP to sort it out they said they would - but
they haven't got back to me and all my emails to them are being bounced
back.

Anyway - here's a few different htaccess files I've tried (I've masked out
the path to the htpasswd file).

AuthUserFile /home/sites/site??/path/to/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName Restricted
AuthType Basic

<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>


That didn't work. I also tried:

# Access file
order allow,deny
allow from all
require valid-user
AuthPAM_Enabled off
Authname "Restricted Directory"
Authtype Basic
AuthUserFile /home/sites/site??/path/to/.htpasswd


Which didn't work either. I also tried the following using my siteadmin
password to log into the directory on the off-chance in might work :-)

order allow,deny
allow from all
require user admin
Authname 'Restricted Directory'
Authtype Basic

No chance! I can't imagine what I'm doing wrong. I've password protected
directories on other types of server before, but on the Cobalt server my
site is on it just won't work! And now my host seems to be ignoring me!
Help!!!
